Looks great. I took my wood off about 10 years ago and replaced it with plastic. Wish I had my wood back.
Must...not... comment...
SKS's posted here look good!
This thread forced me to be ambitious with a long overdue project. I forgot before pics, but it was just like above.View attachment 15266 View attachment 15267 View attachment 15268 View attachment 15269
I had it on an ATI plastic folder but this is far better looking. Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks. My Mosin is next. I'll do before and after this time.Came out great man!!! So much better than factory.
Im tempted to do my mosin, but its a prestine tula 1927 matching hex... kinda want to leave it alone lol
I wish I knew someone I could take mine to, to make sure it wasn't a super rare one. I want to do the stock but don't want to hurt the valueThanks. My Mosin is next. I'll do before and after this time.
id pay that to have mine doneI'd do it for $25 lol
Just finished putting the Mosin back together. I think it turned out nice.
6 coats hand rubbed Tung oil finish (4 high gloss and 2 flat to cut it just a little) then a coat of minwax wax.
What did you use to strip it?
This stuff worked well for me. When I did the SKS, I sprayed it, came back about 20 min later and the finish had just about peeled off whole. Wiped down with a scotchbrite pad and rinsed off with the hose. The Mosin took a little more scrubbing with the scotchbrite pad, but not much. Very easy projects.
I understand. I had no reason to believe mine is collectible. It had even been modified for the scope. I think I may have increased the value by $5 or so!Im debating on doing my mosin today. its a 1927 russian ex dragoon... so Im hesitant to on this one.
